Get A Grip On Ragweed Allergy

Relief in a Pill

The first line of medical defense against ragweed is over-the-counter antihistamines. There are several types on the market, which work differently for different people, say prominent allergists. Steroid-based, prescription nasal sprays are also a good solution.

For long-term relief of more severe symptoms, your allergy or asthma specialist may recommend pre-season immunotherapy.

Try to finish your annual shots before August 15 – the official start of ragweed season.
